We are subjected to stress every day. Relieving it is good, but avoiding it is better ! To do this, there are adaptogenic plants that allow us to strengthen our body against stress.
What is an adaptogen plant ?
Medicinal plants, known as adaptogens, have virtues that allow us to resist stress and the drop in energy due to physical and intellectual efforts. They improve our ability to adapt to the tensions and anxiety that beset us during a stressful phase.
Studies on the benefits of adaptogenic plants have identified 3 important points. They increase the body’s resistance to environmental and emotional stress. They have a regulating action that allows the body to preserve and restore its balance. Finally, they are not toxic, so they can be used by everyone.
Stress is linked to the release of the hormone cortisol by the adrenal glands. During a phase of more or less intense stress, cortisol accelerates the heart and respiratory rate, allowing the body to react in an emergency. If the production of this hormone is prolonged during phases of repeated stress for example, it ends up exhausting the adrenal glands, the immune system and the entire body.
